C'ol. Jamkm II. Kion writes: "The

Is a perfect ucquieecnce on the part ol

Mk. C. E. Thomas, of Rldgewny, Is
the only one of the 24 gentlemen who
have replied to our circular, who disfa
vors tho Primary System. He ?u>s:
?'In my neighborhood, we are opposed

Col. R. A. Thompson, a prominent
gentleman of Wulhul'u and lately a mem
ber of the Legislature from Oconee coun

Col. T. B. Crkws. editor of tho Lau

LEXINGTON.
Tmk Democuacv of Lexington county
has juet emerged from the convention
HVtttem to realize the great advantages ot
the primary plan of making nominations.
J The vote lu the democratic convention
j of that tiounty, last week, stood 48 for
"primary" to 12 tor "convention." The
plurality rule was adopted.
A cokkkspondknt of the T/exingtou
Dispatch, writing on this subject before
the meeting of the convention in that
county says: "If tbe Convention mode
is adopted it will no doubt suit h por
tion, but If the Primary be adopted it
will give almost universal satisfaction to
the working men wherever found. Log
rolling and wire-pulling are curried i n
to excess in the former, but In tho latter
v\ e have Ireedom to cast our votes for
candidates as we wish, and for whom
we please. Thus It may be seen lh?t
Pi Imary gives us more liberty and leaves
us to choose for ourselves, and if we
make an indifferent choice we do It, and
have not other* tu blame. But when we
leavo a Convention to nu?!?e our nomi
nations, It dill'ers lu many respects from
this, as It is almost next to Impossible
for a very few men to make selections
that will please the majority."
